VOX - Tonelab ST Samples

[clitoricam]

For the money, this is an amazing lttle toy. I just tried it using low grade earbuds and was blown away by the amp modeling...tons of fun!!

[MEvilDoo]

ГовноВокс !

[MrGibstrat]

awesome!!!!!!!



[triggerhappyrentacop]

Maybe someone who does not refuse to play anything else but heavy metal shred sound make this demo and call it Vox Tonelab ST Samples?

[linkinrishabh]

which one is beter ?? boss me25 or vox tonelab st ???

[spentonmediocrity]

every corny sound right here....compressed chorusy sound to the hair band tones...pfff

[chronicreptile]

Ah Planet Caravan, Good start!

[O0Salmon0O]

So going by this demo there are two settings, clean and fuzzy. I don't care about any of the effects. Everyone seems to agree that those are low-grade quality. People also seem to be blind to the low-grade 0distortion. Oohh fuzz ...cool! Nope!



[get422]

can you get a good metallica sound out of it?

[CoolKabbage]

Bought a Vox Tonelab EX the other day, returned it the next. It's tone is incomparable to almost any tube amp, and even a lot of SS. The clean tones are alright, the effects are all really cheesy, and the distortion so weak and shitty. Through my amps FX loop, sounds 10x worse than my amp distortion, through the front, just as bad. Only way I could get a decent tone was just recording straight into my computer, but I wanted a live usable pedal. I traded it (+$) at the store for a Fernandes guita

[HipHopeJay6]

I have an audio inferface ( M-audio profire 610 ) and I want to use this only as guitar multieffect, is it possible? I mean plug it into my profire through jack

[dimeoflo]

@HipHopeJay6 It's possible, you just have to deactivate the amp and the cab simulation !

[modernrocks]

@dimeoflo Bro, if i want to use my tonelab including its presets and amp models with my marshall stack, but still keep the tone controls active on the tonelab.. what do you think would be the best way?? i was thinking put the marshalls gain on 1 and the tone pots and volume on 5. Surely this would alow me to stomp from clean to dirty and change my tone....?

[danophile07]

sounds better than the amp i use i need this!

vox u magicians!

[D4V1D811]

hey, you can play bullet in the head with this pedal ???

[squiggy110]

how would this sound through a vox ac15vr and 2x15 cab could anyone tell me please?

[CTuxford]

I see why analog pedals are still the go despite moves in technology. The amount of white noise and clipping is still too noticeable. At one point there was a total sound cut-out. Makes me sad, as I can't afford a set of proper pedals set up on a proper board. :(

I was hoping I'd found my dream rig!

[JulieBrownsGuitar]

@CTuxford The clipping and white noise would be cause this guy said he's using "Audacity" probably thru the mic input jack on his PC. lol

[DUDEFROMDUTCHLAND]

Loop in it?

[guitarmaniacgino]

Tell me, how'd you get the sound at 1:26-1:48??

[adairrpb]

@guitarmaniacgino gain up alot! lots of treble some mid and little base... i assume

[metalking40]

Guys please help me with this one, was just about to buy the Boss ME-25 when a dude told me to check this out, Now i am confused, which one do you guys think is better? I mean tonally, I know its upto each one's taste, but tonally which would be superior in quality. The VoX ST or BOSS ME-25

[DUDEFROMDUTCHLAND]

freaking awesome metal sound :O!! I got an Vox VT30 here, you guys think it would help to do Vox @ vox? or doesn't it matter?

[jerdel33]

Is it better than zoom g 9.2tt???

[fungacide]

@jerdel33 not much is to be honest, i had two. now use line 6 pod hd 500

[JulieBrownsGuitar]

@fungacide I bet if some current younger artists were paid to endorse this, this would be as popular as a limited turd like POD is. The only good sounds on LINE6's are the ones that imitate vox "Brit Classic" "Brit Blues" etc. I've played for 20 years in all styles and encountered several incarnations of these things.. and found myself flipping thru everything and not liking any of the sounds.. and having to argue with the engineer to please just mic my amp at high volume with ambiant micing.

[theillfrisch]

doesnt sound good to my ears.

[esara6]

I wouldn't understand why people wouldn't like it tone lab is fantastic

[EnforcedFXS]

Would you recommend buying the Vox Tonelab SE or the Boss Me - 70?

Or something ele under 300 dollies?

[nvsandrive]

Сыпит сцуко...

[guitarerik93]

so inorder to use the USB as an input i have to download the drivers from there website? and once i do that it will be reconized by my computer as a mic input so basically i can use it with a webcam? nice playing btw

[crazygamer4x4]

I have this pedal too! It sounds amazing througt a tube power amp!!!

[charligj]

man how did you record the demos? i have the processor but i dunno how to record..

[dimeoflo]

@charligj With an USB link and a soft like Audacity. You have to download the drivers on the Vox website. Then the Tonelab ST will be used like an USB Audio interface.

[charligj]

@dimeoflo I did dad but it sounds like crap... totally different from what I hear on an amp, plus its really delayed if I wanna hear it through the PC :( have any settings for a good metal sound so I can try and use?

[SuperFuckingRock]

Yeah men this sounds good ...... At 0:39 what's the settings ??? Please I NEED the setting is a good dist

[emanuel1771]

This is true by pass, thanks.

[Kmaxima7490]

Love the first effect setting.

[adicts89]

still considering whether i should buy it. think i should?

[jeremyjwwt]

can this pedal record ? like looper ?

[kornboarder698]

is that pantera i hear in the beginning?

[CreepyGuy995]

@kornboarder698 That's Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath, but Pantera also did an awesome cover of it

[kornboarder698]

@CreepyGuy995 yea lol i like pantera more

[attitudeblack]

@dimeoflo

does this model or SE has a buitin lopper?

[guitarfreak1963]

yea,....it works best through your clean channel.....

[TheHornet79]

Not loving the Distortion. much more a clean guy but I still love it.

[carlosroj]

I have a line 6 spider 3 and I need a multieffects, would you reccomend this pedal? I play mainly live at bars.

[2009korte]

planet caravan yes

[CommBreakDown]

@2009korte crap..

[hirocaster]

the first one i mean, or it is a song that exists? lol

[hirocaster]

inspired in metallica? :)

[giggidybdoto7]

would you recomend this for use with an ac30?

[neil7227]

Sir! I assure you! I will avenge the death of Jonathan Felnworth Elling and make wrong a great injustice. E PLURIBUS UNUM!!!!

[savasavram]

If I put this before my line 6 pedal board (which I use for reverb/echo/phaser, it would be bad???

What about hum?

[Nicksta2588]

Will the tonelab st work with my Vox AC15vr?

I'm asking because the AC15vr doesn't have an effects loop. Could I just use it plugged directly into the input through the clean channel?

[TheBelva85]

SIr, i'd like to know if it's possible to use the expression pedal as a volume pedal.

[dimeoflo]

@TheBelva85 Yes, you can

[pjog7]

@dimeoflo is there a way to use the expression pedal as a pitch shifter

[thericecrispy2]

@pjog7 Yes, and it sounds awesome. Add chorus and wah and it makes your guitar sound like a moog synth.

[maciverandy]

@TheBelva85 sir, you are a gentleman

[TheBelva85]

Sir, will this sound as good as a tonelab LE with just less options? Or will the sound be different?

[house1918tyler]

@TheBelva85 i own both and the st will never see the stage for me or the outside of my room but the le is by far the most incredible sounding multi effects unit i've ever come across, if u can master it, i just get all my sound from it and play through the clean channel of my basic 100w head, my last show, a guy with a mesa mark V said he wanted to trade his rig for mine

[TheBelva85]

@house1918tyler thx for the info! ANy opinons over the line 6 m9-m13? take care

[Nevadatyler13]

So what kind of power source do you need for this?..And is it also possible to get a nice old Blues tone out of it?

[omgitsdaalex]

does the tonelab st include overdrive? if so how good is the overdrive?

[SkidKid21]

hey i have this and im really confused and have made due with what this thing has given me. anytime i turn on the amp/cabinets, there is no sound whatsoever, but when i turn them off, all i get is a clean sound, and don't even get me started on trying to fix gain, treble, etc.. but im able to use the pedal effects, reverb, and mod/delay for my needs up until now, but i really want to get this figured out. i can't for example use wah and distortion, i can only have either/or.. :/ please help..

[Airnickgr]

If i use this in front of a line 6 spider 3 will it sound like a shit??

[dimeoflo]

@Airnickgr The best with this, i think, is to use headphones or somethin like that.

[thericecrispy2]

@dimeoflo It also sounds good with a Vox modeling amp.

[DrinkingandStinking]

@dimeoflo

but can you play it with just an amp (epiphone valve junior head&cab) and a guitar. (epiphone dot in my case)

[rohanclassic]

@dimeoflo Yes.. Multi effects processors should always be connected to Normal amplifiers or PA's instead of Modeling amplifiers.

[somoshun]

@Airnickgr I got a spider2 with tonelab le. beautiful sounds out from it. but youll do better with some tubeish thing;)

[InDreamsOfficial]

@Airnickgr a line 6 spider 3 already sounds like shit

[MrDeepfriedpizza]

@Airnickgr Yes. I have both. Sounds awful. what sounds good is through my Vox ac100

[JulieBrownsGuitar]

@Airnickgr yes, because you'd be putting it into a line 6 spider. 

[7ibanez7]

@violetoctohedron oh sorry, i meant what type of amp should u run this through, can u use a cheap modeling amp or is a "neutral"/"clean" amp better?

[dimeoflo]

@7ibanez7 Neutral amp sould be better. When i put the pedal in front of my Randall V2, it sounds like sh*t.

[MrPravoslav]

какой идиот это выложил?!

что со слухом проблеммы?Гитара то не строит.Хоть бы не позорились....

[wnvideo]

@MrPravoslav переслушай, идиот

[7ibanez7]

what type of amps can you use with this?

[dmprophet46]

if ur recording through the usb, will the sound also come out of the amp?

[morenoanomalia]

the concept around this kind of procesors starts with the old digitech RP series. in 1999. i'm still using a RP21. if you find one of those prove it!

[rudoman22]

planet caravan was on ym mind too, haha thanks for that!

[henrytdsimmons]

Can you run this strait into a cab?

[dimeoflo]

no you can't

[jesusofsuburbia57]

@henrytdsimmons you cant run anything besides a head straight into a cab

[henrytdsimmons]

@jesusofsuburbia57 Some of these things have have amplifiers built in

[stantonshred]

@henrytdsimmons .... you can runthis straight into a poweramp and then into a cab....

[posiedonpowertrio]

Is this good for amp simulation? Are the presets good sounding? Are the sounds cheasy?

[diablo9333]

@posiedonpowertrio listen to it. Sounds pretty good to me.

[muzicboy99]

wait do u plug into this from your guitar then plug this into an amp? or just this then it plays

[58sqnrockape]

wonder what this would sound like thru my roland cube ?

[simplemelodia]

hey man, what is better? tonelab st o pod xt ?? to play live?

[MegaGuitarSLAYER]

omg gonna hav soo much fun with this when i go n get!

[intrsoul]

Hi - just got one of these and I love it for the most part. An issue I have is that my guitars sound too bassy going *into* the unit - like the bridge pickup is boomy like the neck pickup. The BASS control is great for adjusting lows *after* the cabinet - I'm talking about too much bass going in, where low notes sound muddy with a bunch of gain. Doesn't sound like you had the problem - any ideas? I'm not using cheap guitars either - PRS Custom 22 and an Ibanez RG760. Thx

[intrsoul]

@intrsoul I guess I should note it happens on the clean settings as well - almost every patch has the boomy bass going *in*. Thx

[innerdreamrecords]

Most of the distorted patches have a lot of gain try backing off the gain and also try different cabs with the ones that cause trouble.

[FiveseveNp90]

Indeed, for metal you'll want to roll off the bass before distortion and boost it afterward.

Many overdrives, starting with the famous Tube Screamer, do this to prevent "muddiness" so you'd maybe want to try an OD, treble boost or EQ before your processor if it doesn't already include one. Compression might also help even out the sound (well, that's what it's for).

[comeontrytopkme]

Yeeeeah BLS :D No More Tears \m/

[cast390]

First song sounds like it was supposed to be Planet Caravan by Sabbath

[yuusuk3kun]

@cast390 it is Planet Caravan

[bonjovifan89]

yea he nailed the solo pretty good

[rjcampbell7711]

Thanks for putting this up! Nice to hear some of the different metal sounds you can get.

[link0867]

you played cowbos from hell rong lol, but whatever is afer that had some nasty ass squeels

[nspade13]

How is the wah wah? Ive had a lot of bad wah wahs and pedals, and now i just want to get a multi-effects pedal thats does everything, but is the wah wah like a BudWah or a Crybaby ... ?

[intrsoul]

@nspade13 It sounds like Vox (Hendrix) which is a good thing, but it can sound a little 'mechanical' with a lot of gain, like an emulation of the real thing ;-) If you roll the gain back a little it sounds pretty authentic, maybe a touch muddy. But you can adjust the sensitivity of it....

[srvray]

all the samples was recorded via usb?

any post process or it´s the unprocessed sound?

really nice

thanks

[dimeoflo]

yep, all via USB.

No post process, just guitar => Vox

[xxBrokynSystemxx]

what recording software did you use on your computer?

[dimeoflo]

i used Audacity

[stevecloud]

This would sound better through a tube amp...what amp did you use?

[dimeoflo]

Used the USB out for recording. I played this through an Engl Powerball. It was nice but now i use this tonelab for playing in my flat through a headphone.

[shoepebble]

Tonelab SE is their best so far.

[shoepebble]

Using this to make your solid state amp sound like a tube amp is like trying to make a diet coke taste sweet by putting sugar in it.

[beholdthecakola]

If you put sugar in diet coke then it becomes regular coke, and it would taste like a regular coke. Not all ss amps sound like shit either. I play through a Crate GT3500H, and it sounds awesome for what it does.

[Shlotzkin]

it wouldnt be regular coke at all

[ajatkinson2004]

It would be twice as sweet and contain phenylalanine.

[OfficialMikeMotter]

Not to say that it won't "kinda" work, but it doesn't beat the real thing.

[omalleydp1]

If you have a solid state amp, you need this just for the tube sound.

[shoepebble]

This must be embarrassing for Vox, only bedroom rockstars are giving demos of this. I own the Tonelab SE and everything they have made for this category has gone downhill. I do like the SE, but this is not even a demo, same with all of the other ones for the ST. Believe me, what I'm saying is only what is obvious.
